Ep. 427: Backwoods University - Parachuting Beavers

from Bear Grease · host MeatEater

Beavers are an animal that notoriously get a lot of press. However, more often than not, it's negative press. Their damming everything up, they're causing floods, they're a nuisance, and so on- that's what we normally hear when beavers show up in conversation. Well in today's episode of Backwoods university, we're going to look at beavers in a very different light by learning about two stories. One took places back in the 1940s, one is still playing out in present time, and both of them involve beavers being the hero of the story.

Weltwach – Abenteuer. Reisen. Leben. | Expeditionen, Natur & Wissenschaft Weltwach / Erik Lorenz Weltwach ist ein Podcast über Reisen, Abenteuer, Expeditionen, Natur, Wissenschaft und Kultur.Im Weltwach Podcast spricht Erik Lorenz jede Woche mit Abenteurern, Reisenden, Forschenden und Kulturschaffenden über außergewöhnliche Erfahrungen: Expeditionen in entlegene Regionen, Begegnungen mit Wildnis und Wissenschaft, kulturelle Perspektiven, ökologische Herausforderungen und persönliche Wendepunkte unterwegs.Gäste wie Reinhold Messner, Jane Goodall oder Bear Grylls erzählen vom Ringen mit der Natur, vom Forschen in extremen Umgebungen, von kulturellen Grenzerfahrungen – und von dem, was das Unterwegssein mit uns macht.Weltwach verbindet Reportagen von unterwegs mit tiefgehenden Interviews und stellt Fragen nach Verantwortung, Nachhaltigkeit, Neugier und dem richtigen Maß an Abenteuer in einer komplexen Welt.Neben den wöchentlichen Hauptfolgen (samstags) erscheinen mittwochs zusätzliche Formate wie „Weltwach Reiseflops“, „Weltwach Extrem“ Blog & Mablog Canon Press The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the right of Jeb Stuart. In my cultural sympathies, if we were comparing the blight of postmodernism to a vast but shallow goo pond, I would observe that I have spent many years on these stilts and have barely gotten any of it on me.

In her own words "I have found that the most profound changes occur when a person truly feels heard and understood - I like to think of it as deeply BEARING WITNESS to life evolving. We can feel incredibly stuck when we live with our fears, stressors and troubles in isolation."Dr.Baranowsky is the host of the Bear Psychology Show, focusing on bearing witness Stanford Steve & The Bear ESPN, Chris Fallica, Steve Coughlin "Stanford" Steve Coughlin & Chris "The Bear" Fallica put their unique spin on the world of playing the odds in college football, horseracing and more.
